If you loved Gonza, el lancero, try El asesinato
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Masahiro Shinoda, and they both carry the slow burn mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gonza, el lancero, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
slow burn
What El asesinato is
Yojimbo meets All the King's Men. A wandering samurai is pulled into a political plot as Japan struggles with Western encroachment. Shinoda's black and white widescreen images elevate a familiar story.
